Lost Mayans

Lost Mayans


Ancients who lived long go
Living for the sun and waning moon
Some hoped to be living by noon
Children laughed in the maize fields
As elders struggled for the grasshoppers wisdoms
Life was simple
Daily toils and simple strife
Intermixed with love and social struggles
Lost Mayans
Sifting in my dreams

The ancients have had many a princess
As have I
We both are buried deep within our dreams
Longing for days when love kissed our salty lips
Wine flowed like riverbanks at their brink
Only when the waters ebbed did the sadness make the noon

Now the Mayans are but stories in a book
I often wonder
Who am I?
If not a line 
In someone else’s story

Skeletons of love
Inside a burnt out heart
For I myself have nothing to tell
Being lost long ago
